Hello, art enthusiasts and fellow creators!
Today, I'm excited to take you on a nostalgic trip back in time with a special showcase. I've unearthed a collection of illustrations from the past, each brimming with a unique charm and a story to tell. These aren't just any illustrations; they are a testament to my exploratory phase with watercolor techniques in Procreate.
Reflecting on these pieces, it's fascinating to see how they were born from a technique that was quite novel to me at the time. I used brushes in Procreate that had this intriguing 'watery' effect, creating a blend of digital artistry and traditional watercolor aesthetics. The result was something truly special – a fusion of old and new, traditional and modern.
As I revisit these illustrations, I'm reminded of the fluidity and unpredictability of watercolors, beautifully mimicked in the digital realm. Each stroke carried with it a sense of spontaneity, an element of surprise. The 'watery' brushes added a layer of depth and texture that made each piece come alive in ways that were both unplanned and perfectly serendipitous.
Fast forward to the present, my tools and techniques have evolved. My current brushes are different, reflecting my growth and changes in style. Yet, there's an undeniable charm in these older works. They represent a pivotal moment in my artistic journey – a time of experimentation, learning, and growth.
So, as you browse through this collection, I invite you to immerse yourself in the fluid world of digital watercolors. Notice the delicate nuances, the gentle blending, and the way each piece tells its own unique story. It's a celebration of where I've been and a hint of where I'm going.
